Micelles with ultralow critical micelle concentration as carriers for drug delivery.
Article in Nature biomedical engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 90 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Conventional micellar carriers disassemble into free surfactants when diluted at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (CMC). This limits the bioavailability in vivo of injected hydrophobic drugs encapsulated in micellar systems. Here, we show that a micelle comprising a superhydrophilic zwitterionic polymer domain and a superhydrophobic lipid domain has an undetectable CMC below 10
